Agenda

• Status of Lakelse release and scope of what is covered
• Brainstorm on what needs to be included/modified in RA-1
• Acceleration: feedbacks required on the use of Cyborg and on the support of accelerators like FPGA, smartNIC or GPU
• Telco edge cloud
• Multi-cloud/hybrid cloud
• Storage: solutions beyond CEPH
• Automation: Cloud provisioning, LCM

Minutes

Quick presentation on RA-1 Lakelse Release

Acceleration

•  Walter KozlowskiAdd Cyborg to RI and RC?
•  Beth CohenHW Acceleration in private cloud. What are we doing, for example, for crypto?
• John HartleyHW Acceleration at Edge is absolutely necessary
  • pls see Edge below
• Riccardo Gasparetto Stori RA2 has some requirements on HW acceleration
• Riccardo Gasparetto Storiuse k8s for scheduling of resource requests, consumption and management incl scaling. Plugins for acceleration devices. Examples: encryption acceleration.
• Karine Sevilla  we need use cases to justify further work on HW ACceleration in RA1. Use case with compute intensive requirements can be a candidate.

Edge

• Is OpenStack relevant for the Edge?
• Ildiko VancsaWhat constitutes Edge?
• Beth CohenVZN has several products at the Edge incl. OpenStack at the Edge. Minimal OSTK on 1 or 2 cores. 
  • Another product, K8s on OpenStack allowing customers to run their workloads.
    • Retail, manufacturing, small office environments
  • Tenant management is the tricky point
• Beth Cohen Ildiko VancsaWindriver deploys services with OpenStack at the edge
• John Hartley wind river are significant contributer to starlingX project
•  Gaps: Tools for deployment, config, updates, ...
  • HW disaggregation is still hard
  • Testing and verification support for HW and service chains

Hybrid and multi-cloud

•  Pankaj Goyal should RA1 deal with hybrid/multi-cloud
  • or just keep to private/on-prem specs
•  John HartleyAnuket to orchestrate hybrid multi-cloud
•  Karine SevillaWe must check if services orchestration within a hybrid multi cloud environment is adressed by other communities, such as ONAP
• Beth CohenIt can be a cross communities topic
• Walter Kozlowski  John Hartley RM should address orchestration at least for network, interactions needed between RM and RAs
• John Hartley Check ETSI documents on network orchestration
• Karine SevillaNo feedback from the audience on OMNI project adoption
• Ildiko Vancsa OMNI doesn’t seem to be active, the last changes in the repo were ~3 years ago

Storage

•  Cedric Ollivier:
  • From an API point of view, we don't deal with CEPH but storage features exposed by the API
  • CNTT RC1 was also verified vs the default backend used in OpenStack gates
• John Hartley Should see how Storage Model from RM can be achieved with RA-1 architecture.

Automation

•  This is a key component that I think has been overlooked.
•  Karine SevillaLack of time to address automation during the session
